ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Born with albinism and legally blind, 15-year-old Haiden Currie proves that limitations only define you if you let them. In this episode of Life Shouldn't Hurt, host Grant Fedoruk and co-host Anita Cassidy sit down with Haiden and her mom, Jodi Currie, to talk about adaptive sports, athletic drive, and overcoming barriers.
